“Medicine and allied sciences flourished in the medieval Islamic world. 1001 Cures: Contributions in Medicine and Healthcare from Muslim Civilisation tells the fascinating story of how generations of physicians from different countries and creeds created a medical tradition admired by friend and foe. It influences the fates and fortunes of countless human beings, both East and West. Based on a translation movement of Greek medical tests, it drew on the legacy of surrounding cultures (Egyptian, Persian, Indian and Chinese). Importantly, it innovated in surgery, gynaecology, paediatrics and pharmacology, to name just a few areas. Ultimately, this tradition served as the foundation for European university medicine in the medieval and early modern period and has thus impacted healthcare until today.”
